This is my first big kite (I've previously been using a Prism P3) so i went CHEAP.$132 shipped, it is the Legend :) Oh yeah, I know you are all jealous about my PINK kite!:) But seriously, I'm a big guy, and I'll probably be moving up in size (And quality) at some point.
I just wanted something to train with, and not freak out about if i destroy it.

My Pansh kite arrived yesterday.No instructions were included, not that
I expected any :)

How do I hook up the included handles?How do I
connect the lines to the kite?Red for right?I thought I saw someone
using red for middle....

And the handles have blue and red lines on
them....i assume i hook red lines to red parts on handlesand blue
lines to blue parts on handles?

HELP
:)

Thanks,Dave

I had the first Pink kite in town, so you

Good luck with you Pansh, Check &
adjust your line lengths frequently, also keep eye on Bridle Stretch more
difficult to fix. There were 3 of those in the park the other day…WOW…
we are being invaded…lol

Wait to you get your hands on a de-power-able
kite. Don’t hurt your self in the mean time.

Is this black line just used to get the lengths correct? Am I expected to tie my own large knot on the black line in the appropriate spot?

your adjustments on. The lines you have are probably not identical. So you can
adjust the lengths of the lines as the kite flies differently.

If you need some help fine tuning the kite,
let me know.
